>>I started recently listening to Pimsleur Basic French tapes. They sound very good but there is no book that accompanies the course. The idea is to learn simply by listening. But I would like to see the words in writing as, I think, it will help me to memorize the new words better. So I was wondering if someone can suggest a good on-line (free) translator where I can type a simple phrase in English to see the French tranlsation. For example, right now I would like to see how the phrase "I would like to eat something" and "I would like to drink something" look in French.
